Selecting the same word multiple times at one go
Hi guys
I want to bolt or undeline a specific word that appears at multiple instances throughout a MS word document. How do I do this without scanning through the entire document and doing multiple highlights? Any suggestions would be grateful. thx, |

It is called Replace. Ctrl-H
Click on the More button. Type your word into both the find and replace fields. Click in the Replace field and under the Format button/menu, select character. Select Bold or Underline (or both) and OK These should now appear under the Replace field. Click the button to Replace all. |

Around the edge, underlining is generally reserved for hyperlinks these days.

I also found that there is a small trick easy to be overlooked. Everything went fine until the final step I click the "Replace all" button. It returns a message saying "word has finished searching the whole document and replace '0' item." Then, I checked the items in the "Find and Replace" dialogue window again, and I noticed that at the 1st time I selected the formats(bolt & underline) for the output item, word also apply these formats to the item in the search box. That's why it could not search the word being replaced. I had to go back and click the search box and used the "formatting" again to undo those changes before it could find and replace the item with new formats. |
